One thing that property buyers have to get used to in Buena Vista is the lack of hustle and bustle. In fact, there are days when I could use a bit more…but it is a great place to live. Those who come from large cities…and I am one… occasionally feel a little isolated here on the east flank of the Continental Divide. After all it is about two hours to Colorado Springs and Denver…that is where we go when we need a fix of culture or city life.
While talking to bankers, brokers and other town folk this week, we all agreed that this mountain-town isolation has served us well over the last two years. We do not have a lot of foreclosures and mortgage problems. The housing market has not been flooded and while sales are way down, values are holding.
Actually, the main connections between Buena Vista and the Front Range cites are the roads. The housing market, the weather and the pace of life are largely independent.
